Sure, there loads of Aviator's replica watches to choose from replica rolex watch replica rolex watch , but in our feeling they don’t get much better than the Type 20 (or Type XX) flyback (or “retour en vol”) chronographs made for the French Air Force in the 1950s. While Breguet Type 20sare the most well-known and most valuable, there were actually a number of companies commissioned by the French Air Force to make them. These included Dodane, Airain, Vixa, and J. Auricoste (which you can see to the right). Today we have found an Auricoste Type 20 for sale that appears to have been issued in January 1955. What makes it even more special is the engraving on the caseback attesting to more than a quarter century of service for the French Air Force. Type 20 replica watches were supposed to be serviced annually (although that was not always the case, of course) and upon the completion of servicing an “ cartier cartier FG” (for “Fin de Garantie” replica montblanc timewalker replica montblanc timewalker or “ led watch led watch End of Guarantee”) followed by the date one year ahead was engraved on the caseback. The most recent engraving on this Type 20 suggests that its last official servicing was completed on November 6, 1980, over 25 years after it was put into service.
With only about 2,000 Auricoste Type 20s made, they are not common. Even better, they are significantly less expensive than the Breguet alternatives. This means you get a rare replica watch with proven military provenance without selling the car. Not bad. For more information on this replica watch , click here.
